Caring for others is an extremely satisfying experience, but one that shouldn't come at the cost of your own health and happiness. Nurses and health care providers are often stressed at not being able to care for their patients the way they want to. When the demand for beds reaches over capacity, caring for more patients with fewer resources takes its toll. The demands of deadlines, expectations of patient care from families and management can be overwhelming. Sometimes pleasing everyone else leaves little time for one's self.
